Vegas 2017

We flew out to Vegas with some friends the beginning of January. This was the first over night trip without baby Kingston. He did great, and it helped that I knew his Nanny and Papa would take great care of him.

We left on a Friday and came back Sunday night. It was a quick trip but we had so much fun.

My airplane buddy! xoxo

Katy booked us a limo for when we landed. She got us a sweet ride! It was HUGE!!

Hayes', Holster's, Grubbs and Levens!

We stayed at the Bellagio this go around. The room was so nice and the view was amazing! I don't think we would stay here again though, the food was outrageous and we didn't like the gambling as much here.

View from our room

We headed downtown Friday night. Landon had never seen this part of Vegas. Not where you would want to spend your whole weekend, but definitely worth the 15 minute taxi drive ;)

Saturday, the girls headed to a blow dry bar. We got our hair did and make up done while drinking mimosas. It was a great start to our day.

That evening we had reservations at Emerils Restaurant in the MGM. It was the best food ever!! We also went to the KA show right after. It was amazing as well!

We were exhausted come Sunday and ready to see our babies!! I for sure needed a few days to re-coop!!
P.S. Don't think any of us walked away winners, but I guess you go to Vegas knowing you will probably lose!

Until next time Vegas... 

Camri's Graduation!

My baby sis graduated from Texas Tech a few weeks before Christmas. We could not be anymore proud of her! She just recently moved back to Midland and got an awesome new job (working with my bestie), and just got engaged. So many exciting things for her and I cannot wait to see and be apart of her new chapter.

Here are some pictures of us celebrating Camri on such an exciting day!

Is he not precious??

Proud big sister!!

Blessed by both of my sisters!!

Celebration dinner!

GO RED RAIDERS! So proud of you CAM!

Polar Express 2016

Playing catch up here...

We traveled to Lubbock for Camri's graduation a few weeks before Christmas and decided to take the kids on the polar express. The weekend was a blast and we were so glad to be able to spend it with family and friends.

It was freezing the night we went, but luckily they had a nice warm tent to wait for the train in.

The boys and Nanny and Papa with their Golden ticket!

Hot chocolate and a big ol cookie! (We took this exact picture 2 years ago, so we had to re-create it) ;)

The elves made their way on the train! Kipton thought they were pretty!

The North Pole!

We picked up Santa at the North Pole too!

Sweet Josie said no more pictures Aunt Cici!

Kingston loved his jingle bell!

 The next day was full of graduation excitement! That post will be soon to follow~
 

Family Pictures 2016

Just wanted to document and share our newest family pictures taken by the fabulous Kaylea Gaines Photography. She is so fun and easy going and works so well with kids. I would say she captured some great shots in the 30 minutes we had.
~Kingston was clapping and saying yay the whole time.. haha.... made for some precious pics still~

Handsome Kipton! 5 years old (almost 6)

Gorgeous Laney! 8 years old

Precious Kingston! 10 months old

We are blessed beyond belief and so grateful to have these pictures to look back on for years to come!! Stay little forever... please!?!?!

Halloween Festivities

We had a busy Halloween weekend. Friday night, Kingston's daycare had a trunk or treat. It was fun to see all his teachers dressed up and all the cute trunks they decorated. The kids got ton of candy and loved seeing old friends.

{Warning.. picture overload}

Laney our peacock, Kipton our ninja and Kingston our baby bat

Saturday night a church in town had a big Night of Life Halloween event. Cake walks, jumpers, games, food trucks and a trunk or treat. We had a fun time together and Nanny even won a cake ;)

Sweetest and cutest bat I have ever seen!!

We love our Nanny and Papa!

Cake Walk

The kids got dressed for the third time on Halloween night (I don't think they minded) and we headed over to my friend, Beth's house for taco soup and trick or treating down L street. This has been a favorite of ours for the past few years. The houses on L street are so fun. One house has a movie and popcorn machine up, another house has an old car with the trunk full of candy. We had a fun evening but have to admit I was ready to wrap up Halloween... getting three kids in costumes three different times was exhausting, not to mention keeping up with them the whole night.

We ended the night by stopping by Nanny and Papa's for a special treat.

That wraps up another Halloween! Fun but exhausting. Not to mention.. 80-90 degree weather in October. crazy!!!

Fiddlesticks Farms

We made our annual trip out to Fiddlesticks Farms this last weekend and as always had a blast. It was a hot day, and I could not be more ready for the cool weather. 

We enjoyed our day with our sweet friends. The kids love having Hadlee to play and run around with.

Corn Maize!

JENGA!

Sifting to find cool rocks!

Face Painting

Rolls and Rolls for days and days!!!

Twinkies or should I say "Thug wives"

 So grateful to have the afternoon with these sweet munchkins and the Holsters!
